I couldn't beleive it at first. I was coming off the James Mcdonald bridge just as it was rolling to a stop off of river valley road. The driver was giving it some gas for the other cars before peeling out at the light. frickin cool!!

ya they rolled down jasper ave in it aswell but its a two seater there was a guy driving and then another guy in the back video taping fucking cool and sounding extremely hot

Holset Hatch
i heard on Sonic that Garner Andrews was driving it around today, hahaha that would be funny to see.

The 2 seater cars are actually old F1 cars. That would be awsome.

Joel phoend me when he saw em on Jasper today... V10's roaring down Jasper... even if they are slow ass old Minardi F1 cars, very cool!

Straightpipe
Meh, old F1 cars still set better lap times then CART cars did, even with 2 people in them.

How the hell was it on public roads? More importantly, where is the video?

There is a video there too.

Thats what I'm wondering too. There's no way thats legal enough to be allowed on open roads. I could see it being used on closed roads, with an increased ride height and softened up suspension. But still...thats gotta be nuts seeing one of those flying by you! What a rush!

I was listening to CHED and they had partial audio of when they were pulled over in a residential area. Apparently all the document were in order, and while the officer took his time, apparently, he sent them on their way.

Fazda
thats pretty damn cool!

mcmanus7
according to the article in todays edmonton journal... the car is fully street legal... the guy who drives it says he gets pulled over every day that he drives the car.

Hahaha, fantastic story from Nick. In case you guys don't know, Nick is like 65 and picks up more girls in their 20s than anyone on these boards. My desk used to be right across from his and I was baffled by the number of hot young things he brought by to see where he worked. Old scottish dude that the girls absolutely love for some reason. Could be because he's semi-famous, maybe because he's quite the sommelier?:dunno:

Either way, he's an absolutely hilarious guy and stories like that are the reason his columns run across the country.:thumbup:

i cant watch the videos at work
but maybe thats what we all heard for whom ever was at hawrlack park yesterday.

Invalid Zero
That is awesome.


What engine is in the 2 seater? Sure as hell doesn't idle like a race car, and he wouldn't have been able to shut it down for 5.0.

The segment on the evening news said it was from a Honda Goldwing.
